Evergreen Nursing Services provided outstanding care for my father at the end of his fight with cancer. They went above and beyond what could be expected, including making countless phone calls chasing an unreliable family doctor and speaking to our insurance company on our behalf. Every member of the staff that I met or spoke to was wonderful. The RNs were capable and immediately inspired confidence, and the nursing director was helpful, patient, and supportive. I got the impression that every one of them cared deeply about my family and what we were going through. I would not hesitate to recommend

I used Evergreen Nursing in September 2019 for a surgery I was having in Vancouver. The staff were professional, caring and efficient at all levels. Lisa was very helpful during the booking process and answered all my questions promptly with a high level of service. Clarissa accompanied me after my surgery and went above and beyond in my care. I can not say enough good things about Clarissa, she is professional, caring and an excellent communicator. I would highly recommend Evergreen Nursing based on my experience. Thank you for a much needed service!

Evergreen has been caring in home for a senior family friend for a year now. It was easy to get started from the initial call, the initial nurse assessment to pt care which quickly lead to ft care. The care aides provide warmth and empathy along with caring to his needs. When I visit it is comforting to see and know that your loved one is being cared for.

I've been so impressed with Evergreen Nursing thus far. I recently arranged for care for my mother with Alzheimers, and have found everyone at Evergreen to be so genuine, professional, kind and helpful. From my interactions with the staff, and through the challenges with initiating care for my Mum, I've learned that this is a strong team who communicates well and is committed to providing excellent care from a genuine desire to serve. I feel that we are in very good hands!

Thank you Evergreen Nursing Services for helping my husband, Joe, through the final stages of his battle with cancer. As Joe's condition quickly deteriorated, I called Evergreen to help set up our house as a hospice, complete with hospital bed and experienced round the clock palliative nurses. Your nurses juggled the difficult task of caring for Joe, while communicating with doctors, family and Vancouver Coastal Health. Most importantly, the Evergreen nurses guided me and our children so we could support and comfort Joe and each other at this difficult time. Unable to go to hospice care because

My wife has been a client of Evergreen for almost 2 years. In that time we have found Evergreen to be as accommodating as possible with staffing. We realize that there is a fair amount of turnover and it is not always easy to provide the perfect fit, but they do try very hard to. Visits by the senior members is frequent and comprehensive. I would highly recommend Evergreen to anyone seeking help of this kind.
